Foreword

I would like to begin by saying THANK YOU! to all the wonderful people that have
taken their time to e-mail me with various pointers about uboat.net. I am still
amazed at the success this modest site has received.

Welcome to uboat.net, glad you could drop in :> You may wonder what this project is and why it is here and
in the next few lines I will try to explain all that and more.

This project began quite some time
ago when I started research for a historically accurate fiction
that was to take place in the Second World War and focus heavily on the
German U-boat arm. The book will likely never be written
but I had this folder full of all kinds of information in formats that
I've not seen elsewhere in publications. So I decided to put this on
the Web, largely to fill a void that existed in U-boat coverage in that
medium.

Now as I write this, uboat.net has brought out a small but fantastic crew
of writers and contributors. Without these folks this site would be far, far from where it is now.
With their help I plan to make these pages the very best there are.

My objective with this project is
to make it a top quality reference about the U-boat arm with maximum
accuracy and a very wide scope. In order to achieve that goal uboat.net
must depend on YOU in many ways; error reporting, ideas, information
and so on. If we all chip in together this will be a web page to make us
all proud within months!
